Research by a group of Seattle scientists may help doctors and drug companies target specific brain cells to help people keep ...

Scientists mapped how aging alters gene expression across brain cell types in mice, revealing immune activation, neuronal ...

Based on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have discovered that not all cell types in the brain age in the same way.

Scientists traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord to control motor function.

"We can now map the entire network of tumor-nerve connections in the brain." Molecular contact tracing showed that the tumor cells connect to nerve cells extremely quickly. Long before the tumor ...

In the 1970s, scientists from several countries proposed to reconstruct, one by one, all the neurons in the brain as they appear under an electron microscope. They started with a small worm.

The study helps in understanding about the nervous system's physical landscape and how the brain communicates with the spine. Know how the brain communicates with the spine, through this study.

Muscle movement is enabled by signals conveyed from the brain to motor neurones; however, these impulses often transit through spinal interneurons before reaching their target. How the brain and ...

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.

By tracking where the virus ends up, the researchers could pinpoint which regions of the brain were connected to these interneurons. 3D map allows researchers to visualize connections The ...
